Return to the Matrix - Break from the norm

I'm still trying to figure out exactly how I want to put my matrix together. I now have 3 different versions 2 in word, 1 in excel. There are so many ways to crack an egg and I'm always revising and reorganizing something. I think I'll go with MS word with bookmarks and establish an internal metadata scheme. This will allow me to run search's on key words and quickly jump from one are to another. The only thing that I dislike is the the length of the document. I often receive jokes from friends and family in regards to my love of technology. I must admit, technology is GREAT and I'm addicted. If implemented correctly, it really provides outstanding tools to expedite your learning and the completion of homework. I use 3 large monitors (well, 2 monitors and an old 42 inch television. On a random night, I'll have out a can of coke, a rip-it energy drink, my paper, multiple Chrome browsers, iTunes, OneNote (great product), and the distracting facebook. Epiphany, I may use OneNote for my matrix..hmmm...



It's 2:38 AM and I'm hoping that I'll continue to make progress and complete this portion of the literature review quickly. There's been so much going on in my life that I often pass up on my research for work, sleep, or the love of procrastination. In honor of Halloween, I dressed up as one of the historical members of Run DMC and sacrificed a Thursday night to go people watch. See, I do have a fun side...I swear I could wear this everyday.
